Science+

Science+

Science+ is a phenomenon-based, hands-on science curriculum designed to engage elementary students in real-world applications. These applications also connect with cybersecurity pop-out lessons that connect the students to cybersecurity careers. 

Each module is centered around an anchor phenomenon, which encourages students to ask questions about the natural world. As they seek answers to their questions, students make observations, gather information, and design investigations to test their ideas. Students learn to work in teams, engage in critical reflection, develop models, and share their ideas through speaking and writing. The modules introduce the engineering design process to help students apply concepts and design solutions. 

Science+ modules connect to key math, writing, and cybersecurity concepts, and have been mapped to the Next Generation Science Standards covering all standards for each grade level and reaching all three dimensions.
